I need to get sources for the Linux version of certain programs that reside in a package called "bsdutils". I have built and installed the "apt-get" program and now I'm just trying to use it, and things are going very badly indeed.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? The errors I am getting are shown below, and here are the current contents of my /usr/local/etc/apt/sources.list file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted contrib non-free # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted contrib non-free ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's what happens when I try to fetch the sources: % apt-get source bsdutils Reading package lists... 0%Reading package lists... 100%Reading package lists...
